An entirely water-based, energy self-sufficient, integrated in-line waste management system is provided for comprehensive conversion of all organic fractions of municipal and wider community waste to fuels suitable for use in transportation, with all solid residues converted to high nutrition compost. The system is based on a combination of pre-treatment, involving alkaline hydrolysis and saponification; three-way separation of the pre-treated waste into different streams that are each directed to suitable further processing including fuel production; which includes biodiesel generation in a continuous-flow catalytic esterification unit, and anaerobic digestion to produce methane or other small molecule biofuel. Remaining solids are converted to compost in a quasi-continuous process.

The sugar drawing apparatus comprises: a sugar storage container, a feed port being provided on the upper end of the sugar storage container and a sugar storage cavity being provided within the sugar storage container: a drawing pipeline having one end extending into the sugar storage cavity and the other end thereof extending out of the sugar storage container and communicated with a reaction container, and used for transferring sugar in the sugar storage cavity into the reaction container, and a sleeve sleeved on the outside of the drawing pipeline, one end of the sleeve extending into the sugar storage cavity and the other end thereof extending out of the sugar storage container and communicated with ambient air, and a flow channel for air to flow through being reserved between the sleeve and the drawing pipeline.

Disclosed are apparatuses, systems, methods, and devices for generating high-pressure gas such as hydrogen and oxygen. In one aspect, an apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a reactor which includes a pressure vessel containing a metal compound configured to react with a liquid to generate the high-pressure gas when the liquid is available in the vessel. The reactor includes an outlet configured to pass the generated high-pressure gas out of the vessel. The apparatus also includes a receiver configured to store the generated high-pressure gas generated in the vessel and passed to a receiver via the outlet or passed directly to fuel cell or vehicle tank.
